Welcome to Forever Pontiac

We are a community of Pontiac enthusiasts. The purpose of our community is to keep alive the Pontiac spirit by sharing (or showing off) our cars, discussing Pontiac, helping each other work on our cars and find information, plus attend various meets/shows/etc... To aid discussion, sharing, event planning and selling of parts/cars/anything, we have various parts of the website to aid this from Forums to an online Garage to Classifieds to even a Document Download Repository. You can find links to these in our navigation above based on what each section helps with (discussion, local events, learning, etc...).

We invite you to contribute, find help or just view some of our member's amazing cars! Don't forget, we also have great contests from time to time (like our Pontiac of the Month and yearly calendar contest) and our Pontiac This OR That, a fun game where you choose the best of two randomly selected Pontiacs from our online garage.

This past week has caused a significant number of public schools and the state government to close due to the major winter storm and the follow-up polar vortex and sub-zero wind chills . Communicating this has taken some interesting and entertaining turns.

Local mid-Michigan school superintendents for the Swartz Creek Community Schools made a video announcing the closing of school due to Monday's major winter storm. Swartz Creek is about 15 miles due west from my house.

This first video went viral on Facebook and YouTube.

These guys were even mentioned on Jimmy Kimmel

They then followed it up with yet another musical video later this week because of the extreme (polar vortex) cold.

The first video was followed up by the Lapeer Community Schools superintendent - Lapeer is 10 miles due east of me.

Then the super from Benzie County schools was inspired by the Swartz Creek guys too. Benzie County is located is northern lower Michigan - near Traverse City. It happens to be the county where my grandparent cabin, on Crystal Lake, is. This is about 4 hours away from me.

Not sure if this is going to be an ongoing trend, but it has been enjoyable to watch and listen to.
